i met with members of the new government, including president morsi. religious freedom was very present, behind closed doors and out in the streets. the president has said clearly and repeatedly in public and private that he intends to be the president of all the egyptian people. he has pledged to appoint an inclusive government and put women and christians in high leadership positions. the egyptian people and the international community are looking to him to follow through on those commissions. i heard from christians who want to know that they will be accorded the same rights and respect as all egyptians in a new government led by an islamist party. they wonder, understandably, will the government looking explicitly to greater reliance on islamic principles stand up for non-muslims and muslims equally? since this is the first time that egypt has ever been in this situation, it is a fair question. egyptians are building a brand new democracy. what it will look like, how it will work, how it will handle religious pluralism -- egyptians will be writing

morsi is a muslim brotherhood politician. he has been vigorous in demanding action against the filmmakers and against the film. he has not apologized about what happened at the embassy, or at least he did not do it quickly. he is now saying that everything will be done to protect the embassy and that is to be appreciated. but, you know, our relations with countries undergoing transitions of this sort, from dictators to areas resembling democracies, relations with these areas will be very difficult and complicated. and popular resentment in egypt of american support for mubarak. also, american support for israel. and lots of other issues between us and the egyptians. no question. but it is not the same as libya. libyans are friendly to the united states. egyptians are ambivalent at best and some are anti-american. that is going to have an effect on how the crisis evolves. host: who is in charge in yemen? guest: the former vice president was elected in a strange election that had only one candidate. he is in charge. it seems pr
